The 2015 Pacific Games women's football tournament was the 4th edition of the Pacific Games women's football tournament. The women's football tournament was held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea between 6–16 July 2015 as part of the 2015 Pacific Games. The tournament was open to full women's national teams (unlike the men's tournament, which was age-restricted).
The tournament also doubled as the first stage of the 4th edition of the OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international tournament organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) to determine which women's national teams from Oceania qualify for the Olympic football tournament.[1][2] The highest-ranked team of this competition who is a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) advanced to the second stage against New Zealand, where the winner qualifies for the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament.[3]
Papua New Guinea won the gold medal for the fourth consecutive Pacific Games.
